A Detroit firefighter, accused in the fatal shooting of a disc jockey outside of a bar in December, was arraigned on charges today, according to the Wayne County prosecutor’s office.

Terrill Ian Hardaway, 35, is charged with second-degree murder and felony firearm in the shooting death of 41-year-old Tony Jackson on Dec. 29.

Hardaway is due back in court Feb. 25.

According to the prosecutor’s office, Jackson was working as a disc jockey at a bar in the 19300 block of Schoolcraft in Detroit when Hardaway approached him and the pair began fighting. They were separated by security personnel and taken outside, where they allegedly both pulled out handguns and fired at each other, the prosecutor’s office said.

Jackson, who suffered multiple gunshot wounds, was pronounced dead at a local hospital and Hardaway received a gunshot wound to the shoulder.
